Festival Images

Fiesta, carnival, festival, pilgrimage. Whatever you call it and what ever the reason, festivals represent the best time to visit any destination. Sure, they will be crowded and chaotic. You will struggle to find a room and may be jostled and even covered in water, flour or even tomatoes., but there is no time when a place feels as alive, and the people as engaged.

Steve has travelled to a number of festivals over the years and always tries to seek out new and vibrant celebrations to visit. Check out some of the best festivals in this gallery.
